Consensual crimes are rarely harmless. They hurt law-abiding neighbors who live next to whorehouses and crack dens. It’s called the broken-windows effect. Little things like broken windows create a sense of lawlessness and hopelessness.
Lots of people are harmed when libertarians start breaking windows, doing drugs and fornicating. Our increasingly childless, selfish slacker aborting society is going down in flames because of godless libertarians.
Laws against consensual "crimes" work drastically less well than laws against real crimes that violate actual rights; the FBI reports that two-thirds of murders get solved, whereas the proportion of drug "crimes" that are even made known to law enforcement is assuredly several orders of magnitude lower.

First, I note that your latest post has nothing to do with your previous claim.
Second, law-abiding neighbors don't like to live next to smelting plants either - that's what zoning laws and similar regulations are for, and orderly regulation of consensual acts is prevented by blanket bans.

You're confused - the core of libertarianism is respect for individual rights including property rights.

So you think libertarianism is the dominant force in society? Tell it to the FReepers who maintain that libertarianism is too small to be worth making common cause with because they get less than 1% of the national vote - and please explain why libertarian economic principles haven't been enacted if what you say is true.
